Night Walk
Itinerary
Join us every Wednesday at 9 PM for a magical evening stroll through Lucca, when the crowds fade and the city lights reveal a quieter, more mysterious charm. Led by a passionate local guide, this Night Walk explores the city’s most iconic landmarks and hidden corners, all wrapped in the soft glow of twilight.
We’ll begin in Piazzale Verdi and make our way into the historic center, passing through Piazza San Michele, along the vibrant Via Fillungo, and into the atmospheric Piazza Anfiteatro. Hear tales of Lucca’s past, from Roman origins to Renaissance glory, and discover curious legends, forgotten details, and the life of the city’s most beloved figure—Giacomo Puccini.
Pause outside San Martino Cathedral, admire its illuminated facade, and trace the ancient labyrinth carved into its wall. The tour ends with a peaceful walk along Lucca’s city walls, offering stunning nighttime views and a unique perspective on this timeless Tuscan gem.
Children under 10 join for free (one per adult). Bring comfortable shoes—and a sense of wonder.

Lucca’s bustling main shopping street since Roman times, Via Fillungo continues to be the heart of local life. Today it’s lined with charming shops and boutiques, and during Christmas, it transforms into a glittering river of lights and festive atmosphere.
